The most anticipated restaurant opening in Taipei in 2023, Chef Alain Huang’s Restaurant A opened late last year and serves fine-dining French food made with Asian techniques and influences.

COAST is a modern restaurant in Taipei, combining Southeast Asian flavor with Taiwanese ingredients. Coast is part of MMHG (MUME Hospitality Group), a group led by Michelin-starred chef Richie Lin that is quickly becoming a favorite in Taiwan. We enjoyed our experience at Michelin-starred Mume last April, and M (wisely) surprised me with a dinner at Coast for Valentine’s.

Amboise was such a cute town, and the food was amazing. In the center of town is Château Royal d’Amboise, which you should definitely make a stop at.

When you think of fairytale castles, Chateau de Chambord is the picture-perfect embodiment of that dream. The largest and most majestic of the castles on the Loire, this should definitely be on your itinerary if you’re in the area.

The best thing we did in the Loire Valley was convince my mom to join us for a sunrise hot air balloon ride. The morning we went, there was dense fog and mist from the night before, making for jaw-dropping views as we saw the fog rising from the towns and gathering over the Loire River.

The Loire Valley, often referred to as the “Garden of France,” is a picturesque region west of Paris, known for its stunning chateaus, charming villages, and world-class vineyards. Here’s a week-long itinerary to make you feel like a prince or princess, king or queen.

While you may have a great time in the country in just a few days, you’ll want to spend two weeks the incredible diversity that is Morocco’s geography. If you’re planning a 14-day adventure, here is your perfect itinerary.

La Grande Table Marocaine is the prized jewel of Royal Mansour’s restaurants, and though we’d already had 12 days of Moroccan food, we had to try this restaurant, if only to visit the renown property. What did we think? Was it worth the premium? Read on to find out.

In 2014, three big names in gastronomy founded Disfrutar, a 2*-Michelin restaurant, in Barcelona. In 2022, they opened a sister restaurant, Compartir. We went there for lunch, and I think it will soon be either Bib Gourmand or earn a star.

Six years after initially conceiving the idea, and seven months after realizing we could make the idea real, we’ve finally done it: we’ve moved abroad! Specifically, we’ve established two “home bases,” in London in Taipei, and split our time between Europe in the summers and Asia in the winters.
